DOOM: The Dark Ages Sparks Outrage Among Fans
The much-anticipated release of DOOM: The Dark Ages has left fans in a state of fury due to the game's physical edition containing only 85 MB on the disc. Set for an official launch on May 15, some eager fans received their copies early, only to discover a major caveat. According to a post by Twitter (X) user @DoesItPlay1 on May 9, the PS5 version of the game requires a massive 80 GB download to be fully playable, despite the physical disc's minimal data.
This revelation has led to widespread disappointment among the DOOM community. Fans have expressed their frustration over Bethesda's decision, feeling that the physical copies do not truly represent ownership of the game. Many have criticized the use of physical media as a waste of resources, with some opting to wait for the digital version instead. The backlash highlights a significant discontent with Bethesda's approach to the game's distribution.
Early Access and Fan Reactions
Despite the controversy surrounding the physical edition, early access to DOOM: The Dark Ages has allowed fans to experience and share their thoughts on the game. On platforms like Reddit, users have been posting about their experiences with the game, praising its story, user interface, weapons, and overall gameplay. Reddit user TCXIV, who received the collector's edition, described the game as an "amazing trip" and shared numerous screenshots showcasing various elements of the game, from menus to epic cutscenes and spoiler-filled moments.
At Game8, we've given DOOM: The Dark Ages a score of 88 out of 100, celebrating its brutal return to the DOOM series' roots. The game trades the aerial dynamics of DOOM (2016) and Eternal for a more grounded, gritty combat experience. For a deeper dive into our review, check out the full article below.
